Ari Kaiser has the Iditarod and dogsled mushing in his veins! I can remember one finish of the Iditarod where we were all celebrating, save for Bethany, as the secret was not yet revealed– She and Pete were going to have a young one, and his name would be Ari Kaiser!!
Over the years there have been so many memories that we have had with Ari on the Iditarod. Such fun to see the youngster grow into a fine young man, now at the ripe old age of 10.
Dad asked his son if he was ready for the tag sled and this year he said YES! He was a bit nervous in previous years, but surely could have handled it then as well.
2023 was the year and to start it all off, the rest of his “crew” joined him on the sled to the Start Line. With “brother” on the runners, “sister” Aylee, and nieces Ava and Anabelle mounted up and got a front row seat past thousands of fans and dignitaries including Senator Lisa Murkowski and others.
For Ari it was fun, fun, fun, lots and lots of people, and a hot dog tossed to him by a fan as he passed by and waved. Go Ari Kaiser!!
Since it was his first run, I just let the footage roll for the most part and it is a little longer than usual! Go Team Kaiser! We start them young out in Bethel!!
